“If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.” — Mitsugi Saotome

lol tulip.
yeah, i agree.
the way i figure it is *why oh why* would we want to spend hours practising handwriting when there's books to read, cakes to eat, and waves to surf??

i really l-o-v-e charlotte mason and her philosophy of children's readiness:
my paraphrase being:
when they're ready, and able, they'll do it.
